H.G.WELLS, THE ENGLISH NOVELIST PLAYING AN INDOOR WARGAME (From a Drawing by S. Begg in the Illustrated London News) "Mr. Wells has developed his game so that the country over which the campaign is to be fought is laid out in any desired manner, with the aid of branches of shrubs as trees, with cardboard bridges, rocks, chalked-out rivers, streams and fords, cardboard forts, barracks, houses, and what not; there are employed leaden infantrymen and cavalrymen, and guns firing wooden cylinders about an inch long, capable of hitting a toy soldiers nine times out of ten at a distance of nine yards, and having a screw adjustment for elevation and depression. There are strict rules governing the combat. Before the battle begins, the country is divided by the drawing of a curtain across it for a short time, so that the general of each opposing army may dispose of his forces without the enemy's being aware of that disposition. Then the curtains are drawn back and the campaign begins. All moves of men and guns are timed. An infantryman moves not more than a foot at a time, a cavalryman not more than two feet, and a gun, according to whether cavalry or infantry are with it, from one to two feet. Mr. Wells is seen on the left of the drawing, taking a measurement with a length of string, to determine the distance some of his forces may move. On the right and left are seen the curtains for dividing the country before beginning the game."

I am not a scientist, nor do I have a science degree, so when I first heard the word transgenic, I looked it up...

I thought the folks on the right were really good at doing their “own research.”

The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything I’ve really seen in my time covering politics.

My prediction is that they will fuck up the mail soon. I also predict that it will not be a popular move.

What Elon Musk’s Salute Was All About A gesture associated with the Nazis has a surprising history. But in Germany, there was little doubt about its meaning.

“A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute,” the prominent German weekly Die Zeit wrote in an editorial.
